Hi Dave
when you say "SpySweeper includes the ASK toolbar." is that a warning?
Is there a choice to NOT install this toolbar?
I quote from
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/?p=858
>I discourage users from running Ask's toolbars for two reasons. First, Ask moves the browser's Address Bar from top-left (where it is found in every browser I've ever seen) to top-right. Ask puts its own search box in the top-left. So Ask's software makes it highly likely that users will accidentally conduct searches when they intend simply to navigate to sites they request by name.
Second, Ask's toolbar leads to landing pages that are objectionable in their own right. Ask's landing pages show ten ads — ten! — above the first organic result.
etc

@ Tom,
Yes you can choose NOT to install the toolbar. The big hubbub around the industry is because the default option is set to install.
Just uncheck the box to prevent installation.
wow, pretty hard to believe what some of these programmes try to do - especially in this case as it's by your tests such a good programme.
I see NERO has it as well as an optional download, weird - can they be that desperate or is it just greed (rhetorical question - makes no difference really!)
@ Tom,
I agree. I also know that no program is perfect. If there were perfect programs we would all have the same ones installed. 
I don't agree with it, at all, but I know why they do it.
As a habit I always pay very close attention when installing programs. I also usually choose the "Custom" option if available, just so I know "what" is going "where".
